Additionally, Smart Shopping is a handy comparison tool available via the app, allowing you to compare hotel prices and amenities. This way, if rooms become available or prices drop, you could be among the first to seize a great last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your dates may help you save on your stay in a hotel in Chengdu. If you're in search of something distinctive, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and often represent better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we'll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average.
